First Time Students

First-time students are those students who are attending a college or university for the first time.  First-time students are responsible to fill out the normal application and references

Home-Schooled Students

Home-schooled students are encouraged to apply at EBC. Due to broad range of home-schooling techniques, however, we also require the following procedures in addition to the normal application and references:

  1. The applicant’s parent(s) shall submit a high school transcript with course descriptions* signed by the school administrator with a graduation date included.
  2. The Admissions Office may interview the applicant’s parent(s) regarding schooling, curriculum and procedures.
  3. Any student may be placed on academic probation for the first semester at the discretion of the Admissions Office.  Any student with a GPA of less than 1.3 at the end of the first semester will be dismissed from the college program.  After one year, the student may apply for re-admission.
  4. A GED or California High School Proficiency Exam is highly recommended and in some instances may be required at the request of the Admissions Office.
  5. Since some home-schooled students graduate from high school at an earlier age than their non-home-schooled counterparts, EBC retains the right to defer an applicant until such time it deems appropriate.

*Course Descriptions are not required if the home school program is offered through a school accredited by ACSI or WASC.

High School Seniors

High school seniors are eligible for enrollment provided that they have a GPA of 3.5 or higher. All students registered under this provision will be placed on academic probation for their first semester. Ineligible students are encouraged to audit EBC classes. This will give them a decisive educational advantage upon entering college.

Transfer Students

Eternity Bible College requires all transfer students to submit the normal application and references.  Students who have attained a Bachelor degree from an accredited institution only need to submit official college transcripts showing their Bachelor degree, and not their official high school transcripts.  Transfer students who have attained an Associate degree from an accredited community college must submit their official high school transcripts as well as their official college transcripts. 

If a transfer student has not completed a degree at an accredited institution but has completed some units at a community college or four year university, they are required to submit their official high school transcripts, as well as official transcripts from the community college or university that they attended. 

Transferring Bible Credits

EBC allows students to transfer up to 32 credits of theological education from other colleges and universities on the following basis:

  1. The course being transferred has an EBC equivalent and was completed with a minimum grade of C.
  2. The college from which the transfer comes is theologically compatible with EBC.

Determination of equivalency and theological compatibility will be made by the Office of the Registrar on a case by case basis.  Final authority for the acceptance or rejection of transfer credits rests with the Office of the Registrar.  Official transcripts must be received in order to evaluate the credits.

Readmission Students

Former Eternity Bible College students who have not attended Eternity Bible College for more than one semester have to apply to Eternity Bible College for readmittance.  If you left Eternity Bible College with a grade point average of at least a 2.0 or higher, you have to fill out the basic readmittance application

If you were academically dismissed from Eternity Bible College, or left Eternity Bible College on Academic Probation, you must fill out the basic Eternity Bible College application

All application deadlines and requirements must be met in order to be considered for readmission.   

Audit Students

Students who desire to audit classes can do so by filling out the audit/non-credit registration form.  Auditors do not get college credit for their classes but they can attend class for personal growth and enrichment.  Audit students do not have to fill out the application for admission, just the audit/noncredit registration form. 

 

Note: Our specific mission as a school causes us to restrict admission to evangelical Christian believers. However, since we believe that God is calling out a people for His name from every tribe, tongue, and nation, EBC admits students of any race, age, sex, nationality or ethnic origin to all the programs and activities of this institution. Due to biblical convictions, specific classes may have exceptions based on gender as specified for those classes. EBC does not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of race, age, sex, nationality, ethnic origin, color, handicap, or prior military service in the administration of its programs, policies, or activities.
